Demo’d this at the weekend at London Comicon and promptly pre-ordered the bejesus out of it. Really fun game.
Don’t forget that when you play an upgrade on Rey you get a free action, I think you forgot to do that when you attached the lightsaber to her.
Yep, I totally did! I don’t know why I have a mental block with that one. lol
Only noticed it because I did the same thing in a game against my partner, she smashed me with the Kylo deck, though I did kill Kylo so I claimed a moral victory.
We’re very much looking forward to this one. Will be at one of the launch parties on the 19th 🙂
Good call, Ben! It’s a great game. I cannot wait to get my hands on more boosters!
I am also super hyped for this game. I am trying to host the Brussels launch party and wait to hear back from my FLGS. Also, if you are looking for more background information, a podcast, spoiler cards etc. you can check out thechancecube.com (full disclosure: I continue to the blog).
Just a few points:
1. In the first round, why did you not just claim the battle field? You can claim it, even if you control it already.
2. To “spot a character” you do have to control it yourself, you cannot spot an opponent’s character.
Great tips- right on both counts. The Dark Side made me do it. 😉
STAR WARS [contented sigh]. ok got my STAR WARS jumper on, may the force be with you. awesome job, the game looks like a lot of fun. I really appreciate you guys giving your first impressions of the game as I don’t have much experience with games like this. I will be trusting my fellow beasts on the game play and seeing as a few opinions I respect are on board I’m tempted. not that I need much encouragement when it comes to STAR WARS. you should have had Reys theme or Kylo Rens theme for the victor.[ its STAR… Read more »
looks like a fun game, i will have to check it out. Does anyone know of one of the launch parties happening around Nottingham?
Have to say, this is the only card game i am now interested in, and think its because of the dice
The dice definitely make the game. It kinda takes the luck of the draw concept and turns it on its head. I also like how it still can level the playing field for one person playing a budget deck against someone with an expensive one comprised of more powerful booster cards.
Just catching up on my BoW after a few weeks away. Great “Lets play” I was thinking of getting this game but was wondering if it would be too much like Dicemasters (that I already have loads of). I see now that its quite different and will be getting it. Also £12 for a starter seems to be good value.
